The commutatlon of Patrick's sen- tence on December 20, 1906, by Gov- ernor Higgins did not end the legal fight. Patrick contended that the sen- |tence of death had been commuted | against his wishes and contrary to law |and that he was being illegally de- | tained in prison. “The punishment of life fmprison- [ ment” he asserted, s greater and more horrible to endure than the death pen- |alty prescribed by law for murder in | the first degree.” Restored to Citizenship.

Pardon of Al- | bert 1. Patrick came as good news to many friends in New York who sided with him in his celebrated ten years' fight for freedom. “It's a triumph,” said George Francis O one of the counsel who aided Patrick, “but a too long delayed one.” Mrs, Patrick, the woman who mar- ried the accused murderer in the Tombs, and who has practically all of her time since been seeking his pardon, was advised of the news and, while overjoyed, she dechned to make a statement. As a widower with two lit- tle children Patrick came to New York | inthe nineties to practice law, renew- | ing acquaintance with William Marsh a helpless old man of millions, who ‘was formerly a friend of the Pat- rick family in Texas. He lay bedridden in his . New York apartments, living | alone with the exception of a valet named Charles F. Jones. When the milllonaire was found dead in bed one morning the coroner decid- ed he had simply succumbed to old age, | but suspicions arose. Ten days after- } wards a check bearing Rice's name in favor of Patrick was deposited in one | of the latter’s banks. It was declared |to be a forgery. Then murder was | whispered. Valet Jones was arrested. He tried to commit suicide in the | Tombs. He alleged that Patrick had influenced him to do So. Suddenly he | broke down and confessed that he was the actual murderer of his wealthy master, but at the instization of Pa He told many conflicting stories. He 1id he killed his master by ammonia, then thpt he gave him some ‘“gray | pill; which Patrick procured, and finally that he saturated a sponge with | chloroform and held it over the old | He stuck to | this latter story on the stand and pur- | chased immunity by his confession. Medical experts testified that Rice’s lungs showed that he had been killed by chloroform. On the. other hand, Patrick called experts who maintained that there was no such evidence, and from that time to this medical men in- terested have been divided for and against Patrick The state maintained that the motive for the murder was found in Rice's will. There was but one executed. in 1896, in which the old man left all of his ' fortune to the Rice Institute of | Houston, Texas. A will of more recent date left all of the money to Patrick at_Patrick's direction. Patrick denied all the accusations and persistently contended that the old man died a natural death. He led his own attempts since to have the verdict set fde. He was In a death cell at Sing !his~ executlon had been set several | times before the first step toward clemency was taken by Governor Hig- gins, who ordered the sentencs of | death commuted to life imprisonment. Patrick positively resented such a, | “favor.” He maintained that he want- ed “liberty or death” In 1909 he made the remarkable plea that he was legal- ly dead, one Of the days set for his execution having passed without the sentence being carried out. He claim- ed that the stay which was granted | was irregular. Through the tireless efforts of his de- voted wife, numerous petitions were | sent to Albany for his pardon, signed by thousands of his supporters. Two | years ago Mrs. Patrick was active in obtaining afidavits in Texas to sup- port her contention that Patrick was | the victim_ of enemies in that state. | She also obtained affidavits from the | foreman of the grand jury which in- | dicted Patrick asserting his belief that | there was a miscarriage of justice and | commenting unfavorably on the fact hat Valet Jones was allowed to g0 “seot free” after having confessed that he_nctually committed Gt deed, The mystery of Jones' whereabouts has continued since he hurried, away fram here to Texas after being granted | immunity. 1t is net known whether | he 1s dead or alive, PATRICK NOT NOTIFIED. | Officlal Papers in Case Have Not Yet Reached the Prison. sining, N, Y, Nev, 27.—Afbert T, | Patrick was not informed tomight ef the fact that he had been pardoned.

ROBIN UNABLE TO RECALL DELUSIONS. Says Alienists Put Some Statements Into His Mouth, New York, Nov. 27—The trial of former City Chamberlain Charles H. Hyde was concluded tonight with the exception of the summing up, which was put over until Friday. The feature of the day was the re- appearance of the state's chief wit- ness, Joseph G. Robin, former head of the Northern bank, who has testified that Hyde forced a loan of $130,000 from that bank to the Carnegie Trust company in 1910 by using his control of city deposits as a club. Robin has been declared insane by allenists called by Hyde's lawyers, On the stand teday he declared that he could not recall as truthful a number of the delusions which the authorities attributed to him two years ago and which some of the experts declared still afflicted him, He alleged that the alienists had put many of the statements attributed to him into his mouth. Some that he did admit were merely the result of a breakdown fol- lowing his financial worries, he serted. Dr. Ira O. Tra an alienist called by the state, testified to his be- llef that Robin was sane. NINE WOMEN RELEASED FROM SERVICE ON JURY. State's Attorney Belisved It Ungallant to Allow Them to Sit on Case.

SPENT TWO YEARS IN THE DEATH HOUSE. Lustig, Once Convioted of Wife Mur- der, Now a Free Man. New York, Nov. 27.—Because state's counsel feared a retrial would result in acquittal, Maurice M.
